Research laboratory "Genomic Medicine" of Medical Institute Clinic got decoding genetic information device, which will help to make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment in accordance with the latest standards of medicine.

Each patient has individual genetic characteristics that influence on the course and progression of the disease. Scientists have proved that standardized drugs used in the treatment are not always effective. The new device Illumine MiSeq allows to find out the nature of diseases and create new strategies for treatment and prevention of diseases.

"We came in the era of so-called "genoism", when from birth of a person, you can determine whether he has a mutation, which diseases he will have, and whether that person will get a healthy generation", the head of the promoting and supporting the company's products group "InterLabServis" Aleksandr Kirpy said.

Due to the high cost of consumables, each launch of the device costs one million rubles. The cost of the device itself is 11 million.

"Half thousand genes can be sequenced for one launch. If you calculate how much it cost to study one gene by new device, it will be two hundred rubles. The prime cost of sequencing a gene in the usual way is 1000 rubles, not counting a lot of wasted time and efforts", the head of the laboratory "Genomic Medicine" NEFU MI Clinic Nadejda Maksimova said.

The device will be also involved in the studies of mutations and defections that occur in the genome of the Yakut ethnos, finding mutations in cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
